Nasal Saline that is Home Made is Best
One of the most common problems that people have to deal with is chronic nasal congestion. We all tend to take the simple nose for granted — until it isn’t working just right! When the nose is congested it is kind of like having a sore toe. It really gets your attention. This makes the difference between a good night’s sleep and a night of misery. The fact that there are so many different strategies out there is a sign that there really isn’t a good “solution” for this problem. We think that our “solution” is better than most of the other strategies out there.
One of the most common strategies for treating nasal congestion is by spraying something into the nose. what you may not know is that these strategies have a major problem: they all have to use somethign called “preservatives” to keep them safe on the shelf. Without the preservatives bacteria would grow which would be a major hazard to the user. You might say “so what?” Well the major problem is that the preservatives can cause the nasal problems themselves to get worse. In other words, the treatment may actually cause some of the symptoms that are attributed to the condition.
We have a “better nasal solution”. We can show you how to make a more effective nasal solution than you can buy in the store at home. When you make it at home you are automatically free of the side effects of preservatives because you don’t have to use preservatives.
Being free of preservatives is a really important issue when you’re trying to treat nasal inflammation. This inflammation could be from allergies, from a low grade infection or from inhaled irritants (like smoke) that are causing the lining of the nostrils to be irritated and subsequently swollen. If your nose is already irritated the last thing you want is another chemical that is causing even more inflammation. The good effect of the spray is offset by the bad effect of the preservative!
With our home made nasal saline solution the good effect of the spray (or as we more commonly use it — the nasal irrigation solution) is NOT offset by something bad. It’s all good. Can you see how important this is for somebody who is going to use this for the long term? Imagine every day using a treatment that is offsetting the benefit of the treatment! And the person doesn’t even know this is happening. He is just assuming that the symptoms he is having is caused by the condition he is treating and not the problem he is creating by the preservatives.
So we encourage you to use a “solution” that really works and has no negative down side. Be sure to use only preservative free saline irrigation treatments or saline nasal sprays.
